Chapter 161
"Oh, after all, we have too few troops now, but I also believe in the prince. After all, the prince has won many times with less, and this time it's not bad. But can the prince roughly talk about how we will use troops this time so that we can prepare both of us!"
Although Mou En asked this question with kindness, Li Qing also understood that he could not win the battle with one mouth and shut up.
If the Uighurs really come, it is very likely that they will fight the two tribes first, so it is understandable that they are worried. What Mou En and the others want now is actually just a promise from Li Yan.
"Our Han people's military ancestors have a saying: the superior army attacks the plan, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, the second is the enemy, the lower is the enemy; the method of attacking the city is a last resort. In my opinion, we only have two points, one is to take the initiative to attack, and the other is to have some wisdom! Among them, you two tribes need to put some effort into it..."
Speaking of this, Li Neng waved, letting Mou En and the leaders of the Tongluo tribe come close to him and whispered his plan. After hearing this, Mou En and the leaders of the Tongluo tribe all showed a sudden enlightenment.
An hour later, the two left Fan Yang in a low-key manner under the escort of their tribesmen and began their joint action with Li Lan.
After Mou En and the others left, Zhang Xun, Nan Jiyun and others also arrived at Li Wen.
Of course they knew what happened to the Uighurs. They were not afraid of the Uighur cavalry. After all, they had cities standing up here, so they could only be regarded as turtles with their heads.
However, seeing Li Qing sending Mu En and the others happily away, she was as smart as Zhang Xun to understand that Li Qing probably didn't want to be a turtle in this matter.
"Prince, the two tribes helped us destroy Shi Siming. Now Shi Siming has defected to the Uighurs. They are probably the first one to attack. If we insist on intervening, with our troops, we will probably be in a short position!"
Zhang Xun immediately released their current disadvantages.
During the previous fierce battle in Hebei, although Li Yan finally got a Yuyang cavalry of 16,700,000 people, he suddenly made his elite cavalry exceed 20,000, and there were also powerful generals like Chen Zhibao, but most of the troops he had brought before were lost.
In terms of total number of troops, the current force is not as good as before attacking Hebei Road. There are so many more cities to guard now. Even if the city in the south can not send much troops, at least Youzhou and Fanyang are places that must be defended.
After doing this, there were not many soldiers available at all. The surrendered soldiers who surrendered before were not enabled when Shi Siming was still their enemy. The uncertainty factor was too great, so Zhang Xun reminded Li Xuan in this way.
"The military strength is indeed very tight, but our intelligence should be far better than them. Mou Yu Khan has just been in power for a few months, and the old Khan died strangely. The Uighurs were very close to our Tang Dynasty. Now he has openly taken in Shi Siming. I don't believe that there is no turmoil among them!"
Li Qing did not say all these words in front of Mou En and the others, but in front of his confidants, these words could of course be said.
"What the prince means is that we can dismantle them from within them?"
"Not bad, but not us. I don't have that ability now. But behind us is their former master, the powerful Tang Empire? At this time, we can still let Your Majesty give us some support."
A few days later, Li Heng had just sent Yan Zhenqing, who had offended many people in Chang'an City, to Youzhou happily, and before he was sent, he also granted him the position of deputy envoy of the Hebei Road Jiedushi.
Yan Zhenqing actually served as an official in Chang'an City more than ten years ago, but he offended Yang Guozhong, who was in power, and was demoted to the prefect of Pingyuan.
Now, after finally making repeated military achievements in the process of quelling the chaos, I returned to Chang'an City, but after just a few days of cessation, I started to have a fight with many people again.
Li Heng is not Li Longji. Although he felt that Yan Zhenqing was too arrogant, he was not a big mistake and he was embarrassed to demote him again.
Just because Li Qing called him, a man of both civil and military affairs, Li Heng naturally took the initiative and did the matter. He rarely praised his third son, which was a rare time when Li Qing could be anxious about him.
At this moment, Li Heng received a second letter from Li Yong, and the content of the letter could not make him so happy.
Li Yan understood that Shi Siming fled north of Hebei Road with more than 20,000 remaining elite troops, but in the end he was greeted by the current Uighur Khan after entering the territory of the Uighurs.
According to Li Neng, he had already studied with Tongluo and Pugu tribes and was about to surround Shi Siming outside the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, it was the Uighurs, a good brother of the Tang Dynasty who were disturbed by this matter in the end.
Li Qing's request was also very simple, which was to ask Li Heng to send a letter to the Uighur's new Khan in the name of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, telling him to cut off Shi Siming's head and send it to Youzhou or Chang'an City, otherwise he would cut off relations with the Uighurs and would no longer engage in any trade with the Uighurs in the future.
Anyone actually knows that the reason why the Uighurs were afraid of the Tang Dynasty was that they were afraid that the Tang Dynasty would not trade with them.
They produced war horses in a wealth of war horses, while the Tang Dynasty had a slightly shortage of war horses, so the Uighurs always wanted to use war horses to trade silk cloth and iron tools from the Tang Dynasty.
However, because of fear that the Uighurs would become stronger, the Tang Dynasty had only traded silk cloth with them in a small amount, and the iron tools were even more cautious.
Even so, once Li Heng wanted to cut off the trade exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Uighurs, his impact on the Uighurs would be huge.
After reading the letter, Li Heng was also very angry by the behavior of the new Khan of Uighurs. He felt that Li Wen's request was not too much. If he wrote this in the name of the emperor, the Uighurs still did their own thing, then he would really have to consider imposing some economic sanctions on them.
